Sun dried tomatoes

Does anybody else think that these are mostly rather vile?

Acid chewy things. They remind me of that scene in Michael Herr's brilliant book about the Vietnam war 'Despatches' which Apocalypse Now was based on... a newbie soldier was handed a bag which looked like it was full of apricots...on dipping in he discovered it was full of hacked off Vietcong ears...

Back to tomatoes...now there are such a thing as Sun blushed tomatoes which are much nicer.

hey dharmaruci, I've only just noticed your comment...a month later! No I've never tried it but it sounds fantastic.Now my teenager has decided she only wants to eat black and white food...I know Aspergers people can get fixated about colour of food...

Supper Club: recipes and notes from the underground restaurant

"The hundreds of diners who've attended one of Rodgers's supper clubs (aka MsMarmitelover, she is one of the pioneers of the movement in the UK) will be able to confirm, between satisfied burps, that she cooks the kind of food that people really want to eat. This is a beautifully designed collection of some of her most successful menus. Resistance is futile."
